Description
The Farr Bay Inn, originally the Old Manse of the Church of Scotland, dates from 1819. It is a two-storey and attic house with three bays, originally harled with painted rendered margins. The front elevation features a projecting gabled porch that covers the central doorway, and two gabletted dormers. The windows are largely 2 and 12-pane sashes, with corniced end stacks and a slate roof. A rear wing extends at a right angle to the main building, with a further two-storey and attic extension running parallel to the front range.
The interior has been significantly altered. An upstairs room at the rear retains hand-painted flowers decorating the window shutters. A datestone bearing the joint Sutherland/Stafford Arms is visible on the building. References to the property appear in The New Statistical Account (1834), page 76.
